Superintendent Nick Brown has resigned from Hawthorn School District 73 effective June 30 to accept a new position in Indiana to be closer to family.

“I really enjoyed my time at Hawthorn and appreciate all the work the staff does for all our students,” Brown said. “We have great parents, students, staff and community.”

The Board of Education is grateful for Mr. Brown’s service to Hawthorn and wishes him well at his new district in Indiana.

The Board of Education will work hard to make this transition as smooth as possible with the help and guidance of the District’s administrative team. An interim superintendent will be hired to support the District for the next year. Also, the District will hire a search firm to help find the right superintendent candidate for the district. The District asks for community patience and support in the coming weeks. The District will continue to focus on what it does best, ensuring the best learning environment for its students.
